CLEMMONS — The Joseph-Mary Foundation, founded by Father Peter Nouck, parochial vicar of Holy Family Church, recently sent more than 2,200 pounds of supplies and equipment to its sister branch in the impoverished southwest region of Cameroon. Members of Holy Family Parish were principally responsible for the donations.
The goal of the foundation, fondly referred to as JOMAFO, is to empower young people to seek a better life through education and health, all administered in the spirit of Christian teachings.
The shipment contains prescription medicines, medical and hygiene supplies, small medical equipment, and clothing. Computer supplies were also included to enable the foundation to establish a computer center for use by its students and the community.
The foundation is sponsoring 20 educational scholarships and is also working to achieve designation as a health center to be able to provide outpatient care.
